As we approach the 50th anniversary of Jimmy Hoffa’s disappearance on that sultry afternoon in July 1975, Lew Paper has crafted a fast-paced historical thriller which raises new questions about the reasons for the abduction."Prepare to be captivated, as Lew Paper masterfully blends a trifecta of suspense, intrigue, and historical insight."—Amanda M. Fairbanks, author of the critically-acclaimed The Lost Boys of Montauk: The True Story of the Wind Blown, Four Men Who Vanished at Sea, and the Survivors They Left BehindA former FBI Special Agent-turned-private investigator is asked by a Mafia contact to follow Hoffa in the weeks before his disappearance. Eleven years later the investigator’s son embarks on a terrifying odyssey to determine whether the investigator’s untimely death on a sailboat ten years earlier was, as the coroner determined, an accident or whether it reflected the Mafia’s long-time practice of eliminating witnesses to its crimes. In a story filled with unexpected twists and turns, the book focuses on the many forces involved in Hoffa’s disappearance – Bobby Kennedy’s vendetta against Hoffa when he was Attorney General, President Richard Nixon’s bid for re-election in 1972, and, last but not least, the Mafia.
